SUMMER FILMS {BY AL HOFF}
Recovery is a journey, not a destination. THEY CALL summer the “lazy days,” and the big studios sure do exhibit such tendencies: The number of sequels, remakes and reboots this season is epic. Let’s start with the sequels: Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska continue the fantastical Victorian journey in Alice Through the Looking Glass (May 27); that same day, X-Men: Apocalypse begins, helmed by Bryan Singer. It’s another round with the crimefighting amphibians in TMNT: Out of the Shadows (June 3), and more underwater fish-based fun with Pixar’s Finding Nemo follow-up, Finding Dory (June 17). On June 10, paranormal investigators take on another spooky house, this one in 1970s London, in The Conjuring 2; and the snarky band of professional magicians are back in Now You See Me 2.

Hopefully, the tedium of so much revisiting will be relieved by some decent comedies. Andy Samberg stars in the mockumentray Pop Star: Never Stop Never Stopping, out June 3. Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart portray mismatched spies in Central Intelligence (June 17). It’s more CONTINUES ON PG. 30
